If you are complaining about champion diversity at worlds, here is why, the short version.

You play Solo Q, arguably, any champion can carry in Solo Q.

They play co-ordinated 5v5 games, in which champions KITS, that word, kits, THERE KITS, have a huge impact on the game, so only a select few champions, with certain kits, in certain team comps, will see play.

I tried to read this but you wrote "THERE" instead of "THEIR"

Argument invalid, go back to school

I tried to read this, but you didn't use a comma between the words "this" and "but". Also, you didn't use punctuation.

Go back to school.

Then explain how DoTA2 (the main competitor of league) saw 96% of their champion pool played during The Internatonal even when they have champions whose KITS have a huge impact on the game and their KITS are why they won't see competitive play. They have a pool of roughly 120 champs and we have 132. That's only 12 more champs. Why is it that only 40-50 of our pool sees competitive play while 112 of theirs did?

DoTA2 has much different mechanical basics than LoL, everything in DoTA2 is broken.

As far as I know, they tend to balance only for competitive games (don't know if that's true, I've never played DotA 2)

Because kits in League overlap extremely hard where as almost every kit in DotA has something unique + items allow them to fill in flex spots which give each champion a unique niche.

They also have a different p/b that allows them to throw wrenches (more bans) mid-pick phase, which can easily force someone into a secondary pick.

because DOTA 2 is overwhelmingly balanced for coordinated professional gameplay, and the game survived with certain picks being 60+% win rate on the ranked ldder

Weird, after reading this post I get an irresistible urge to eat chocolate bars...

But no! Karma is overpowered. She is picked every game.

Hmmm...Still a 48% win rate and a sub 10% play-rate.

Yet she needs to be nerfed because a set of the best players in the entire world make coordinated compositions that include her.

Of course a champion that is adjustable in many team-comps is going to have that effect.

If she were truly broken, she would have a lot more success in ranked since she can rally her allies like no other support (which can change the pace of a fight).
